Where's my rollover data, AT&T?

People defending AT&T: they only gave overall data usage stats, not iPhone or iPad specific ones. I'm sure 10-20% of users go over 2 GB, and a majority go over 200 MB some months.

I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but AT&T limits their "unlimited" voice plans to 750 minutes per month. It's in the first paragraph of the contract where "unlimited" is defined. AT&T essentially has the right to put you on a limited voice plan, or cancel your service altogether if you go over 750 minutes.

Meh.

We have iPhone on 5 carriers in the UK and there has been little competitiveness between them. It's the cash cow for all!

Meg.

I'm not even sure it would make much difference if you guys had another carrier for the iPhone.

In the UK, we have 5 carriers offering the iPhone, with a 6th on the way, but not one of them offers rollover data (and few offer rollover minutes either)

The difference between tariffs in general isn't much over here - a little more data here, a few more minutes there, but by and large they're pretty much the same.

But it's good to be able to switch to a new network once you're contract is up, if you've had bad service.

You'll get your roll over data right after at&t quits charging $20 for iPhone 4 tethering with no extra download bytes tossed in on that deal. I mean come on! $20 to tether so you can burn through your 2GB faster? You have to pay for that?

Compared to that insult to their customer's intelligence the whole missing roll over is a brown streak on the sheets.

Remember: More bars to less backhaul, the correct move is always to not be a victim.

I agree it's a lousy system )and why is it that, if you go over, $15 buys you an extra 200 MB if you have a 200 MB plan but the same $15 buys you 1 GB if you have the 2 GB plan?) but I'm going to just suck it up, go with the small plan, and pay if I go over. In my last 6 months of usage, I was under 200 MB five times and over once. So at $15/month and $15 for going over (assuming 400 MB is always enough for a month) that would have cost me $105 (6x$15+$15), compared to $150 (6x$25) if I just went with the 2 GB plan all along. I agree that rollover data is a great idea but until then I'll just make the best of what they have. At the moment I'm still on my $30/unlimited plan and I'll drop after I get back from my trip later this month (just in case I need a lot of data while on the road.)

AT&T, rethink possible, backwards.

Verizon must be foaming at the mouth over AT&T's exclusivity deal. Everyone who's paying even the slightest attention to this situation knows that if Verizon was allowed to step in they could offer an unlimited plan, rollover minutes, or even a stuffed animal and a half-dozen roses and 80% of iPhone users would run screaming from AT&T. I imagine AT&T has a fire hose of money shooting at Apple to keep that deal alive.

Another huge problem with mobile plans is that even after paying off your phone you still end up paying the subsidizing rate. If you are happy with your phone you shouldn't have to pay that extra figure. I mean you are getting ripped off.
